Echo (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn)

In 'Echo (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn),' Hardwell crafts a poignant narrative of unwavering love and devotion. The song opens with a vivid depiction of silence and pain, where the protagonist is 'dreaming with no sound' and 'silence screams so loud.' This imagery sets the stage for a heartfelt plea to reach a loved one who is suffering. The tears falling like rain symbolize the emotional turmoil and the urgency to 'fix you up again,' highlighting a deep sense of empathy and commitment to healing the loved one's pain.

The chorus amplifies this devotion, with grandiose promises of taking the sun from the sky and stealing the moon from the night. These hyperbolic expressions underscore the lengths to which the protagonist is willing to go for love. The repetition of 'I will never let go' reinforces the theme of steadfastness and eternal support. The metaphor of love pouring down 'like an echo' suggests that the protagonist's love is not only persistent but also resonant, reverberating through time and space.

As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to a frozen world with leaves on the ground, symbolizing a period of despair and hopelessness. However, the protagonist's perspective from 'this mountain high' offers a glimmer of hope, as 'above the clouds the light still shines.' This contrast between the bleak world below and the illuminated sky above serves as a metaphor for the enduring power of love to transcend difficult times. The echo motif returns, emphasizing that the protagonist's love is a constant, unwavering force that will always be heard, no matter the circumstances.
